To give some more context, until recently the GLINK interrupt was 
managed and requested in the GLINK native layer. Any type of interrupt 
configuration would affect all of the links. The interrupt is now being 
requested at the transport layer (smem/rpm), so it has a little more 
fine grain control.

In downstream, we had switched to IRQF_NO_SUSPEND because there were a 
couple of cases where glink communication with rpm was needed during the 
suspend path. Having the interrupt configured as wake capable conflicted 
with the use case.

The general expectation from the DSPs is that if it is important enough 
to send, then it should be important enough to wake the APPS subsystem. 
We've always had to work around the fact we were using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND 
in downstream.

This alternative approach seems reasonable to me as well. I think the 
only drawback I see with this approach is non-data traffic may stall. 
The glink protocol traffic not tied to a TX_DATA command, such as intent 
requests, wouldn't wake the system even if the channel is configured to 
be wake capable.
